Our model

We don’t source our feedstock. We build it.

Aligned Energy develops dedicated sweet sorghum cultivation on degraded and underutilised land, creating a controlled feedstock supply for renewable fuel production.

Our Bintan trials: from degraded land to dedicated feedstock

  1. Bintan trial site before planting: bare, degraded reddish soil with loose gravel
    01 Degraded land
  2. Bintan trial site during land preparation: red soil ploughed into long, even furrows
    02 Land preparation
  3. Sweet sorghum seedlings emerging in rows from red, rocky soil at the Bintan trial site
    03 Early establishment
  4. A dense stand of sweet sorghum at around 90 days at the Bintan trial site
    04 90 days
The challenge

Renewable fuels: demand is growing. The constraint is the resource.

The industry can build conversion capacity. But where will the feedstock come from?

Limited supply

Sustainable feedstocks are not unlimited.

Growing competition

Multiple fuel producers compete for the same resources.

Supply exposure

Third-party sourcing creates price and availability risks.

The competitive advantage begins upstream.

A different approach

Two ways to secure feedstock

Conventional model

Buy feedstock on the open market.

  • Compete for available supply.
  • Absorb market price volatility.
  • Exposed to third-party supply and geopolitical risks.

Aligned Energy model

Develop dedicated sweet sorghum cultivation.

  • Plan feedstock around production.
  • Reduce exposure to traded markets and improve long-term cost visibility.
  • Dedicated supply, with agricultural execution risks to manage.

From agriculture planning to fuel production – one integrated supply strategy.
